Zoila friendi vercoi lentiginosa OUTSTANDING - THE BEST
71.8 mm     Australia     830,00 €
Item# 0004213186
FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila friendi vercoi lentiginosa - OUTSTANDING - THE BEST , Raybaudi, 1996
Size71.8 mm
LocalityAustralia
NoteAn OUTSTANDING, ‘top of the line’ specimen of the very DEEP-WATER FORM – one of the FINEST of the JES Collection – from the ‘old days’ of deep-water Zoila diving. Incredibly beautiful, subtle colour: rich ivory ground, with nebulous background axial dashes of exquisite apricot-lavender, decorated with sporadic pale caramel maculae; spectacular cream margins, with large dark caramel maculae. Meticulously curated, with as fresh an apperanace as if collected this year. Thick resplendent gloss. (NOTE: Very few examples of the deep-water form, such as the current specimen, were collected from a depth below 50 metres, as such depths are treacherous and involve considerable risk.) Now extremely difficult to obtain, and a ‘collector’s item’ at this level of quality and beauty. A lentiginosa for the Zoila connoisseur. Data: Off Albany, Great Southern region, Western Australia, Australia; upon limestone reef substrate, upon grey sponge; 52 m; dived; 1996. Size: 71.8 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne.
